Season 1 Roadmap

Black Ops 7’s first season is upon us after Activision has finally released a full roadmap along with a release date and details on the upcoming weapons, maps, and so much more for the main game, campaign, Zombies, and of course, Warzone. Here’s everything coming.

Release date

As announced by the Call of Duty Blog, we know Black Ops 7 Season 1 is coming on December 4.

Most CoD seasons last around two months, so we can safely assume this will take players through to the new year.

Weapons

Zombies

Season 1 also brings three new Zombies maps, including two smaller Survival maps and one larger map.

It also adds in a new enemy, O.S.C.A.R., and a brand new Wonder Weapon, the LGM-1, which launches saucer squadrons at enemies. On top of this, expect new traps like the Stellar Dissector and Apogee Annihilator, which cut up Zombies and bomb them, respectively.

New Jingle Hell Holiday Mode

To celebrate the holidays, a limited-time variant of Astra Malorum will be available, featuring the following challenges, as revealed by the blog:

• Snowballs & Snowball Piles: Collect snowballs from piles around the map to freeze zombies. Frozen enemies are easier to eliminate and may drop holiday presents.
• Holiday Presents: Frozen zombies can drop presents whose loot quality improves as the rounds climb higher. Present loot includes weapons, equipment, support and upgrade items.
• Naughty or Nice (Power-Up): Pick up a stocking to test your luck. Nice drops multiple holiday presents, while Naughty spawns timed waves of Ravagers.
• Snowmen: Destroy them to find random loot. However, they may be hiding a zombie inside!
• Freezing Weather: While outdoors, players will begin to freeze will lower their movement speed.  At round one, players move at 85% of their standard speed. As rounds progress, the map grows colder, with the slowdown capping at 50% movement speed.
• Barrel Fires: Ignite barrel fires in outdoor areas to create permanent warmth zones that cancel the freezing effect.

Lastly, there is a returning Perk-a-Cola, Mule Kick, which allows you to carry an extra weapon and two new GobbleGums:

• Elemental Exposure: Your weapons will always inflict damage of the target’s Elemental Weakness.
• Slaylist: Plays a random Zombies song.
